BOAT LIFE

The jean genie

Founded in Stockholm in 2010, Saman Amel’s made-to-measure tailoring has

been the go-to choice for sartorially savvy men. But this year, the tailors let a

wider audience in on the secret with the launch of its first off-the-peg capsule

collection. Key pieces include a black wool-mohair dinner jacket, loose-fitting

pleated cotton trousers and an elegant off-white linen-wool-silk jacket – all,

of course, tailored to perfection. samanamel.se, mrporter.com

Finding the perfect

pair of jeans has

long been fashion’s

equivalent of the

Holy Grail – but it

has suddenly become

a much easier task,

thanks to British tailor

Thom Sweeney.

Starting from this

season, clients of its

London and New York

stores can order fully

bespoke denim,

choosing their

preferred cut and

selecting from fabrics

that have been sourced

from the best factories

in Italy, Japan and the

US. They’re available

in nine washes, from

nostalgic vintage blue

to urban pure black.
